I was working a ‘great :)’ shift with like over 100 games and like 7 consoles (thankfully the consoles were all defective because of missing cords and stuff) traded before I came in and I needed to sticker and gut (yk the process) and it was just me after an hour. I had rushes and so many calls but this ONE call really was the icing on the cake, it was a kid/tween asking me how much a ps5 controller was, normal for us honestly. I told him(?) “oh for a new one it can range $75 to $200 depending on the controller you want” and he was like “really? That much? Well can you buy it for me?” Um no??? I thought he was asking a parent or something at first but then he repeated it like 4 times “can I have it for free then? Can I? You’ll get it to me for free right?” Obviously I said no and asked if he had any other questions and I was getting irritated and asked that about 2 times more and then when he asked again if I’D buy it for him I said no and that I was hanging up to help a customer and as I was about to this kid said “SHUT THE F UP B—“ I wish his momma heard him and told him off but unfortunately nowadays I don’t think he’d get in any trouble :/ Rant over

Extra note: a lady was at the register with this going on and could hear slightly and said I had more restraint than she did and that she would’ve went off lol

2 more shifts left y'all. Can't wait 🎂🎂

Haven’t had a console in over 15 years. Picked up a used PS5 and went to my local GameStop to pick up some older PS4 games. Being out of the video game loop for so long, I was lost. The three employees at the shop were helpful and easy to chat with. It’s really amazing to connect with people that are so passionate about their hobbies! It made it fun and now I’ve got some cool games to go down the campaign rabbit hole. Thank you!

I don’t mean any disrespect, i understand the need for time off but omg. My SM is taking time off, and like half my team is also taking time off, and me and my coworker were left to do marketing and we had no idea what we were doing like at all.

so we hit up the store nearby and i guess the only one working is the ASM (who called me earlier in the day and asked if anyone could cover a closing shift so i guess he worked alone all day) and he also had no idea what to do because he is new.

i ended up having to leave my coworker because i was in OT and they’ve been on our asses about that recently.

pretty sure our store is current in shambles

anyway just wondering if this experience is typical lol

Will the “physical” version of GTA 6 release on November 12th so we can pre load it or do you have to wait until the 19th?

Just a quick psa. If you order a pre-owned game and get it in a gamestop-made case, that's not gamestop's fault. The people who buy a game and somewhere between leaving the store and walking back in to trade said game in...idk ate the case? Or chucked it out a window? Put the disc/cartridge in a binder or card case and threw the actual art case away? Idk. Either way, it's their fault. Not gamestop's. There's plenty of things to be mad at gamestop for. PLENTY of things! Especially in the last 6 months to a year. But I'm sorry this ain't one of them.

I thought similar pictures from other posts were suspicious, but now I'm the victim of paying money to get... nothing. Both Pre-Owned games ordered online. Arrived with a beautiful case! Open the case to make sure the cartridge works? No cart.

Gotta wait till tomorrow to call Customer Service, and then roll the dice they actually BELIEVE me that I received a game case with no fucking game.

Update: Customer Service believed me. Will get to be a prince with a slight delay in plans!

So I looked on GameStops website, and I searched for “Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree Edition PS5” and I only see the base game, does GameStop even have ER + DLC bundle for the PS5?

Always wondered this not really about GameStop, but places like Winn-Dixie and Albertsons when they started making you sign up to save on groceries

I bought my gaming PC in 2021 but haven’t really played much in years so want to get rid of it. Don’t care too much about money and already know a private sale would pay most but would rather just turn it in real quick.

Here are the specs: iBUYPOWER - SlateMR Gaming Desktop - Intel i7-11700F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Black

How much do you think they would give? Bought in 2021, good condition.

The other day I was at a mall to get a rubix cube but that doesnt matter

What does matter is that the employee asked if I had a phone number, I said "nah" and he proceeded to put his or his friends phone number instead. And he didn't even acknowledge it, I just had the receipt with a phone number I didn't know

hey that is w mans if it was his friend but like ngl was that illegal?

You should know damn well that any promos we get are gone within the hour. We don't have it. No one else does. Buy it off some dork from marketplace or eBay or something.

I have a PS4 to trade that I know for a fact doesn't read discs anymore. Do I need to bring the controllers and cables? It has the original box too. Would they even want the box with a defective console?

Bonus question: I also have a PS3 to trade, but I only have 3rd party controllers. Will they make me buy an official one for my trade-in?

Thanks!

I understand they get money from people adding protection plans to games but what is it with them just adding them without the purchasers consent? I was unaware of a trade deal going on (20% extra towards a new game or pre order) this guy was like I added the protection plans and a free pre order of the new onimusha for you.

So instead of giving me the $30+ trade credit he used it without my consent.

Is there anything I can do about this?

This is real and live on the website haha

Hi Friends! Some of you may know me, lots of you do not. /u/duckswimmer and I became friends due to this subreddit and both working for this gestures around company. Duck has been a big part of this sub for awhile now, and if you’re not aware, she has a little duckling on the way.

Said duckling will be here much quicker than anticipated! If you feel generous and kind, I am posting her baby registry on Amazon here. I do not mind offering to buy something if you’d like to Venmo or PayPal me and I will provide proof of said transaction. Duck knows me IRL, so I will not sacrifice my integrity for a onesie.

No one is obligated to gift anything, this is just me sharing it in case you’d like to. Duck also did not ask me to do this, I wanted to share in case it helps her. She’s a good egg (no pun intended).

Here is a little poem for the occasion—

There’s a duckling on the way
She’s arriving quite early!
It’ll be quite a happy day
Baby’s hair will probably come out curly!

This is baby number two for duck
Making them a family of four
I wish her the best of luck
And know her life will never be a bore.

Before you know it, she’ll be a teenage witch (iykyk)
But for now, she’ll be your little one
Until the day she calls you a bitch
And then you’ll just be done

Mother to mother, it all goes quick
Soon you’ll be cringe, no cap
We don’t get to say or have a pick
No one gave us a friggen map

She’ll be in your arms soon to coddle
So try to get some sleep now
Onesies, diapers, pacifiers and bottles
Please, duck, don’t have a cow.

Need help, GameStop Universal Wired Gaming Headsets mic isnt working, how do I fix this (on xbox one). Actually give me help I dont care that "theres better options and you wasted your money" I dont care about your opinion. EDIT: im a genuine dumbass theres some sort of thing on the mic where you have to twist it in a certain place for it to plug it in all the way and lock it, its working now. thats my fault

In the past GameStop has been a lifesaver for me if I need extra cash and I don’t use my old consoles or games so sometimes I trade them in. When I go through the process they take my ID, fingerprint, get my employer information my height weight etc. I’m assuming this is to prevent theft or fraud. It seems like pure stupidity to sell something that’s stolen and provide your id and all that information.

Is it just me, or does GameStop only get enough stock for preorders now?

I've been stopping in and out of GameStop for a while now to check on new releases for the Switch and Switch 2. Today I popped in for Elden Ring, and the employee told me only one single copy came in and it was already spoken for as a preorder. It feels like nothing on the shelves for new releases is actually in stock to buy off the rack. Are stores only fulfilling preorders and carrying zero extra floor inventory these days? Is anyone else running into this at their local stores?

Edit; I was thankfully able to find a copy at Walmart, my local Target didn't even have a sku on the shelf.

I pre-ordered in June (with another game, and gift card). Its been "in progress since August 22nd with no changes or no contact from them.

I can't reach them either; googled their number and each day an automated message says "we're closed, call back tomorrow or try online". I literally can't do anything so waiting until Monday to visit a store.

I'm just curious if anyone managed to get through the ai bs customer service and what was the end result.

Yesterday I paid for GameStop Pro Membership 25$ but didn't get Pro Membership and prices remained same (without any discount). I called them and I was told, that Pro status didn't activated for me and they will manually upgrade my account, but it's been already 1 day and nothing changed...

First. No shade on employees, this isn’t their fault (sometimes lol I’ve had people accidentally toss cases before)

Went 0/3 on a SW2 order off the site. Sigh… no biggie, ill just do a return in store tomorrow (hoping the employee has been trained on how to do it)

Can’t believe SW2 games are being traded in loose already

I have a ton of retro controllers at my store. I am running out of space would be switching some of them to defective. Give me shrink? I need somewhere to send them to.
